This is helpful! Yes, the charge to 100% daily only applies to the LFPs not 2170s and 4680s.

I would jump at a LFP variant over a NCA battery. Positive of LFP is lot less degradation versus a NCA, much more cycles, and you can charge 100%. The negative against a LFP is the capacity is less than a NCA. This means you need more cells which adds weight to car plus 0-60 speed is slower. And, cold really affects the LFP.

NOVA here too. Same order except on 1/19. No vin and 3/5-3/31 delivery.
It's a coin toss for sure. a $55,000 car worrying about $3750 when it's already down from $67,000. My struggle is that I dont really NEED a new vehicle. A Tesla has always been a WANT for me. This MYLR will end up replacing my 2011 Toyota Sienna with 190k miles. It has a tow package and I ordered the MYLR AFTER the $500 increase. so no tow for me unless added afterwards. Also going from an 8 seater van to a 5 seater crossover SUV with a family of 3 teenagers. Just thoughts that keep me second guessing my splurge purchase. Nobody is saying I must sell the Van. It's only worth $5k and can be my family hauler, boat towing, Lowe's run vehicle until the kids move out or whatever.
Your logic sounds like mine before purchasing my first EV. Not meaning to be overly dramatic, my experience to purchase my this EV was, well, life changing. It sounds silly, but I found tremendous satisfaction and peace of mind in not filling up a a gas station every week and never having to get an oil change (or the many, many other maintenance and service issues needed with an ICE vehicle). Also, the driving characteristics of an EV--quiet, smooth, quick acceleration--bring a smile nearly every day. So, for me, the decision to purchase the MYLR was a no-brainer, with the price drop and federal tax credit.
The only issue I have had to deal with (really not meaning to open a can of worms here!) is that my adult children felt the my purchase decision was a token of support for he-who-will-not-be-mentioned. I have managed to talk them down using rational, rather than emotional, points of EVs and climate change and the engineering marvel of Tesla vehicles.
So, GigaMike, purchase the Tesla. You will not regret it.
Still waiting too

MYLR white/black/19/tow
OD - 16 (10AM)
EDD 1/18: 2/2 - 3/2 - no change since
No vin
Looks like the will deliver White/Black vehicles late. I see a lot of people (including myself) with this configuration waiting for the VIN/updated EDD.
cool, I also had it delivered but wanted to change it to pick up. Will reaching out to SA after getting VIN Should work right? and what are the pickup date options given to you? how far are they from the VIN date?
did you check with them about holding the vehicle for couple extra days until u get back, is it an option? Does anyone have experience pushing the pick-up dates for a couple more dates than the given date range? if so what was your approach?
Your post gives me hope! I have a MYLR White/Black/19/Tow that I ordered on 1/16 at 6 am EST. My EDD has stayed at Feb 19 - March 26 and has not budged since a few days after ordering. I was under the impression that the EDD window would have to shrink multiple times prior to a VIN being assigned, but it does not appear that happened with you. Great to know, thanks for posting your update.
1000%
Exactly the same here. Buying our first EV was life changing as well. You are right, it does sound silly and it is hard to explain to family and friends. So many big and little things that add up to an amazing experience. It makes driving fun and exciting, like when you first got your drivers license. Just my experience.
Man shoulda just went with the black seats, I ordered white seats and still no narrowing of the date range or vin assignment
Tesla is definitely a nice to have vehicle. But.... you raised 3 kids. Treat yourself! The kids can learn to drive in the van and can be used when you need to tow.
My best guess would be that your Vin assignment will be closer to 2nd week in March in the very least. Once you see that window change to a 2 week window you are getting closer! That's all I got 'cuz I'm still waiting on a VIN myself
Ordered 1/13

another site 'waitingfortesla" shows build date for all these MYSR....interestingly some build dates are days out....so I expect them to arrive at designated locations a few days after the build date.
